Ok I had to cut the bolts in 2 places but I got the t/c rods out of the car. I then proceeded to burn out the old bushings, no problem.

Now, there are 2 rings on either side of the t/c rods that appear to be keepers but i dunno if they should come out or not. They seem pretty determined to stay in there but the bushing doesn't fit too well w/ them.

Also there are some protrusions in the bushing seat, like little bumps 1/8" high and the size of a penny w/ little nipples in the middle. Do I file these down?

I know someone knows the answers to these questions and i really need my car running ASAP so help a guy out would ya?

Thanks enormously in advance...
